The Ultimate Tracking Performance for Vestax Turntables
In the late ’90s, Vestax revolutionized turntablism when it released its “Anti Skipping Tone-arm System.” Ideal for scratching, the A.S.T.S. improved tracking performance and reduced record wear. The feature was improved upon in 2004 with the addition of a dynamic balance system to some of Vestax’s turntables.
On this episode of DJcityTV’s Tips and Tricks, Mojaxx takes a look at the SoSharp Active Force Control Mod. The 3D-printed device adds the dynamic balance system to the pre-2004 Vestax turntables with A.S.T.S.

Review: Roland DJ-505 and DJ-202 Controllers
In 2017, Mojaxx reviewed Roland’s flagship DJ controller, the DJ-808. Now, he takes a look at the company’s more affordable options: the DJ-505 and DJ-202. Both devices are all-in-one controllers that are designed to work with Serato DJ. And like the DJ-808, they both include the AIRA technology.

Should DJs Use Twitch to Live Stream?
With the growing popularity of live streaming, DJs who want to showcase their skills have several platforms to choose from. DJcityTV’s Mojaxx recently caught up with Vekked, the Canadian turntablist with seven world DJ championships to his name, to discuss the advantages of using Twitch to live stream.
While Twitch is most popular among the gaming community, Vekked uses it to teach DJ lessons on subjects like scratching, beat juggling, and putting together a battle routine. He prefers Twitch because it is more interactive than other platforms.
Watch Mo and Vekked’s discussion on this week’s episode of Tips & Tricks.
